A new data group may be added by manually adding or copying from this or another DSD.

To create a new data group select its type, enter a unique Id and enter a name for the data group. Note that the Id cannot be changed once the data group is added.

The available types will be shown in the select list, or click the icon next to the select list for a popup showing more details of each. The types vary according to the gatherers enabled in you account. However, the following common types may be available:

Abandons data gathering for all or specific data groups, based on an fSeries function or a separate DSD returning the value "true".

Use an API to return data in Json or text format.

Gather data from the fSeries Audit Log.

Records data gathering activity in the appropriate Audit Log database Log table.

Copy data from another data group. Data can then be used in a different way to the main data group, without having to gather it again.

Gather data from a specific data group in another DSD.

Gather data from another DSD which may then be accessed with the DSD Data Group gatherer.

Used to receive errors during loading in order for them to be made available as returned data.

Merge together the contents of other data groups into a single new Data Group.

Send a notification email based on data gathered.

An SQL query to gather data from a database.

Used to set values in a single row using Data Items.

Alternatively, click “Copy a Data Group” to start a new data group based on an existing data group in this or another DSD.

Use the DSD Picker to select a DSD to copy from (including the current DSD), then select the data group in that DSD to copy from.

The data group type will be set automatically.

Give the data group a unique Id (this cannot be changed once added), and a name.

WARNING: Any references in the copied Data Group must be checked as they may refer to data groups which are not present in this DSD.
